STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,433, dated August11, 1891.

Application filed March 13,1891.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, GEORGE KING CHAPMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Russellville, in the county of Logan and State of Kentucky,have invented ai ne'w and useful Stove, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a cooking attachment for grates; `and theobject-s in view are to provide a device to beconnected with theordinary wood or coal gra-tes, and while not in the least impeding thedraft of the same by reason of its peculiar shape, yet to be capable ofreceiving and baking pans of biscuits or cakes, frying, orstewing, asmay be desired.

Other objects and advantages of the in- Vention will hereinafter appear,and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theclaim.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a cookerconstructed in accordance with my invention, the same being mounted inposition upon a grate. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 3is a transverse view. Fig-1 is a perspective view of the attachmentremoved from the grate.

. Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures ofthe drawings.

In practicing my invention I construct the heater or stove of castmetal, and the opposite side, back, roof, and bottom of the same all ina single piece.

The cooker consists of opposite sides 1, a rear wall 2, a bottom 3,opposite side and rear inclined roofs 4, anda superimposed flatroofsection 5, said inclined roof sections or sides conforming to theusual contractions of the chimney 6 of a tire-place, and inasmuch as thehereinafter-describedstove is supported below said contracted portionthe currents 0f air may pass freely into the chimney and are not in anyway impeded by the cooker pro` jecting into their paths. Hinge-sections7 are formed upon the front edges of the sides 1, and similar sections 8are formed upon the outer edges of a pair of swinging doors 9, saidhinge-sections being connected by the pintles 10. A latch 11 serves tolock the doors in a closed position. The doors termi- Serial No.384,896. (No model.) I

nate'short of the bottom 3, and the remaining space is lled by atransverse strip or'sill 12. The interior of the cooker is provided atthe opposite side walls 1 with longitudinal guides 13 for the'rec'eptionof a biscuit or other baking pan 14. Flush with the upper edge of thestrip 12 lugs 15 are located in the rear corners of the cooker, so thata second lower pan may be employed, if desired, or a skillet 16 may beseated upon the iioor of the cooker and meat or other' edibles preparedtherein. It will be observed that the biscuit, being supported above thebottom, are prevented from becoming burned by excessive heat and thetops of the biscuits are exposed to the action-of the heat to the lsameextent as are the bottoms, so that a uniform brownness may be secured.To the front lower central edge of the cooker there is secured abayonet-shaped lug or arm 17, having the front and rear elbows 18 and19, respectively.

In practice the lug or arm 17 has its lower end introduced into thespace between the upper and second bars of 4the grate, after which thecooker is swung to a Vertical position, so that its bottom extends overthe tire, and in this position it is held while the process of cookingis carried on. Lugs 21 may be employed for the purpose of connecting theends of the bail or handle thereto.

Having described my invention, what I claim is v The herein-describedcooking attachment for grates, consisting of a box formed in a singlepiece of cast metal and consisting of opposite and rear vertical Walls,a bottom, opposite side and rear inclined roof-sections conforming tothe contracted portion of the chimney, and a superimposed top, said boxbeing provided at its lower front end with a depending bayonet-shapedlug or arm forengaging between the two upper bars of said grate,substantially as specifed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as `my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses. Y
